We know that time does not heal your wounds. It is what you do with your time that matters. Meditation is a way to use your time wisely. From self-care techniques that will help you get back to sleep and release muscle tension, to easy-to-learn mental exercises to calm anxiety and stress, this online course has everything you need to cope with grief and life after loss.

The Meditation for Grief Course & Community Forum is an online, self-guided program that is available 24/7/365. When you enroll, you receive instant access.

Along-side other like minded people, you will learn how to cope with the pain of loss and eventually re-engage with the “new normal” of life after loss. Mindfully attending to your loss is not about denying your pain. It is an opportunity to create the space in your heart and life to be present and nurture yourself no matter what arises. Just like the book, this course will help you:

Ease your physical symptoms of grief

Calm your mind and help you regulate difficult emotions

Increase compassion toward yourself and others

Discover your life’s meaning  & honor your loved one

Develop your new self-narrative for moving forward

Improve your present moment awareness & potential for future health

You Do Not Need To Know How To Meditate, Or Even Be Calm

This program is open to anyone—regardless of meditation experience. You do not need any previous meditation or writing experience to benefit from this program. Most participants report feeling a release of physical tension either during or just after the very first relaxation exercise. By the end of the program, the majority of participants feel they are not only more able to cope with grief-related stress and anxiety, but they are better equipped to cope with life in general.

Before this course I was having anxiety and depression. The weekly practice was powerful, but integrating my practice into my daily life was especially helpful. I am calmer now. Even when I focus on my grief, it doesn’t seem as overwhelming.

This course provided me with much more growth opportunity than I expected. I am living more fully, breathing more deeply, and I have a better awareness of myself. I am truly grateful.

This course reminded me of how powerful the breath can be in experiencing the here & now, and letting go of what we cannot change…. the past. It helped me get out of my head and back into my body. It helped me improve my awareness of deeply held beliefs that I could benefit from examining. It is a step towards healing my grief.

Grief is exhausting on all levels. The Meditation for Grief Course will teach you sleep hygiene and meditation techniques, and other ways to care for your grieving body. You will also learn how to cope with difficult emotions when you feel overwhelmed, and even how to deal with difficult people. You will learn how to be your own best friend, and care for yourself when you most need it.

This self-paced program provides relief and insight into the physical, emotional, and spiritual experience of grief. The meditation and journaling practices will help you emerge on the other side of loss with a new appreciation for life, stronger spiritual insight, and a deeper connection to yourself and others. This is known as posttraumatic growth.

While none of us choose to be struck by grief, we can choose to tend to ourselves with lovingkindness. We can also learn how to “move forward with” the memory of our special person, as we know moving on is not an option. There are many ways you can honor the relationship you have with your person. You don’t have to let go or forget.  The Meditation for Grief Course features:

  • Instructional Videos to Explain Key Concepts
  • Guided Meditations to Help You Relax, Process Emotions, and Retune
  • Mindful Journaling Prompts that Allow You To Express Your Feelings
  • Helpful Workbooks to Keep You On Track and Focused
  • Community Forum Where You Can Share, Ask for and Receive Feedback from Heather Stang

We are best able to cope with grief when we have the support of others. Inside this program, you will find a community forum where you can post your questions and share your experiences with other participants. Whether your questions are about your meditation practice or grief itself, Heather will read and reply to your posts, offering you insight and validation, and answering your questions, so you can get the most out of this program. With access to AWAKEN, Heather’s online membership community, you will have opportunities to connect with your grief tribe throughout each month in the AWAKEN Sharing Circles.

Heather Stang

Grief is a natural reaction to losing someone you love; it’s a deep pain that none of us are inoculated against. More than likely you are reading this because you are suffering, and are in need of support.

You may have conflicting feelings about taking a step towards wellness. There may be a part of you that is ready to begin to relinquish the pain of your loss, while another part may fear that this work is too painful, requires energy you don’t have, or that you will be asked to “get over” or “forget” the person you are missing. It is important to know that receiving support does not mean that you will be asked to let go of the memory of the person that you cared for, deny that you are in pain, or that your grief is unhealthy.

I know that this is not a journey that you have chosen to embark upon, and I trust that you will join this program only when you are ready to let go of the suffering and reengage with life after loss.

You may feel like relief is 10,000 miles away, and you are traveling on foot. My mission is to help you take the first step on the path by providing you with emotional, physical, and spiritual support.

There are many ways that the Meditation for Grief Course & Community Forum will help. You will experience a relief of physical symptoms through conscious relaxation. Your body is undergoing extreme stress, and mindfulness-based practices will help your body move back towards health and homeostasis. Many people report physical relief after the first exercise!

You will be able to calm your mind as well. Seem impossible? Time tested meditation techniques can help you focus and even regulate your emotions.

And you will develop self-compassion: the ability to recognize that this human experience is fraught with ups and downs, but you too deserve to be happy, and safe, and free from suffering.

Finally, you will connect with your own inner wisdom surrounding your loss, rather that conform to a set of “shoulds” or follow an imaginary “grief timeline.” Ultimately you will finish this course with countless tools to help you not only cope with grief, but reconnect with yourself and live fully once again.

I wish you well on your path to healing.

With Lovingkindness & Gratitude,

P.S. If you have any questions about the Meditation for Grief Course & Community Forum, please contact me or call 240-397-8080.
